"magic" Cashmere Powdered Ink Pif

[amberleadavis]

I have one more magic ready to go - it's my last until the ones from Canada arrive. I also have a black. So, first two PMs can have them. No prior winners. International shipping to be paid by the recipient.

So...Amberlea will be "inheriting" more Magic Cashmere, so is going to keep sharing. In January, the SuperPinks will be testing out more powdered inks. In order to become a SuperPink, you will need to gain experience in testing inks and Powdered inks, but you might asked... What are these ink powders?

This should help answer the question. The powders were developed by Black Stone Ink company and sent to me for testing. Because I love to share the experience, I opened it up to others in this thread. More than 50 FPNers helped test the first four batches of powdered inks - Amber, Balls, Cashmere and Diamond.

After those tests, only the Cashmere line was distributed for further testing. Attendees of the Toronto Pen show were given three of the Cashmeres (Black, Red and Blue) and beta testers known as the SuperPInks were given sachets of four inks to test (Black, Red and Magic). The Green Cashmere suffered a mixing meltdown and ended up being Magic. Each sachet of Magic is a different color AND it changes color as it dries. ITS DANG COOL and will never be made again.

As for the name SuSeMai - Blackstone was originally the SUper SEcret MAker of Ink. Blackstone said it like Toshiba - like Sue See Mah. DCPritch who thought it was funny that I'm an attorney by day and ink tester by night, says it as So Sue Me. The rest of us just call it AWESOME INK POWDER.
Now... on to the PIF:

I'm going to email Claudia and see if, with your permission, she can snag one for me out of the shipment heading towards you from Canada.

Perfect!

 

That was my last magic green --- it has been gone and I forgot to update the thread. I have one last black and it's ready to go.

 

Cyber6 has 40 she's sending my way.

Just today I received amberleadavis's generous Cashmere Green (Magic) packet, which she PIF'd to me.

It was in the mail for a long time. Everything always takes so long to get here.

 

I mixed it up in a suitable glass bottle with 35ml of water, because I wanted a really wet ink.

Really wet it is, and behaves well. The color is -well- very dark, blackish with a bit of green that disappears pretty much momentarily. The ink also changed color a few times while I was mixing it. Interesting.

 

Right now I have used it to create a 'homebrew twilight' with Parker (regular) blue. That's pretty nice in fact.

 

I will fill in the web form about it soon....

 

Thank you again, Amber.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!
